Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 2, GAME 3: NUGGETS @ BLAZERS - MAY 3, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM , ESPN

Aren't you in the bay area?

If so, No worries, you're in prime position to watch the Blazers in the next round....

 

Man, I'm ready to discuss offseason stuff. Not used to the Blazers still being in the playoffs!

 

62nd out of the 197 players that made at least 82 three's. Last year 38th of 179. So between the two seasons, about 26% of qualified shooters were better. More than a quarter of the league. He's pretty good but a long way from "one of the best"

 

East Coast here.......so it's 10:30 for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....................

 

How about the two years before that? He is a career avg 40% 3 shooter, this year was a down year, last year was about his average. 40% from 3 seems like an elite % to have as an average from 3 when you take as many as he does.

 

Ouch...at least it's a Friday. Hopefully you don't have to work tomorrow haha

 

Face-Brooke is live!

 

Boom! Math.

 

Not really. He was tied 26th in 3 points made (and 27th in attempted) but 61st at 3 point percentage. Again, these numbers are not bad at all, but they don't scream a super star either. Considering he is 17th highest paid player in NBA including centers and power forwards, I'd say that is under-performing.

 

Harkless is shooting and his number 4 is listed on the scoreboard as a starter.

 

Damn.... I didn't know you and @BonesJones had that kind of relationship.

 

I never want to see you post again.

Love me some Brooke! She's such a sweetheart, and especially knowing the challenges she's been through with the loss of her husband. To pick herself up and continue to a successful career is really inspiring. I could listen to her all day.

Let's go Blazers! GET THIS WIN! DRAW UP GOOD PLAYS, TERRY!

 

Damn I didn't know about her husband--is there an article or video where she talks about it?

 

I couldnt imagine them playing in the WCF into Late May.

Let alone the Finals and playing into June. Itd literally be

Season Ends:
10 Days Later - Draft
10 Days Later - Free Agency
10 Days Later - Summer League
2 Months Later - Training Camp
2 Weeks Later - Preseason

Thatd be awesome!

 

Sorry man. It had to be done.

 

God that makes it even worse.

He died on their honeymoon. Only married 10 days.

 

LOL it's Monday through Friday for me. I live an hour away from where I work so I typically wake up at 5:30. Needless to say, it's difficult to watch Blazers games nowadays but I'll always remain a fan.

I went to the game in Orlando last season and I made it my personal mission to find where she was sitting at after I got my seat. She's more beautiful in person for sure.

 

33 players shot 40% or better 3 years ago; 35 shot 40% or better last season; 30 shot that well this season. On average, that's about 19-20% of 'qualified' shooters and CJ is right at the bottom of that cutoff, and he hasn't hit the 40% mark the last 2 seasons

people throw the term "elite" around way too casually IMO. I wouldn't consider the top 20% elite in any category. Maybe 5%, but not much higher and maybe even that is too generous. For example, if you figure the 20% cutoff for rebounding than Jaylen Brown hit that mark with 6.2 rebounds a game. Is 6.2 rebounds a game elite? Or how about points? 14.3 points hits that 20% mark. Is somebody who scores 14 points a game an elite scorer?

Like I said, CJ is a pretty good 3 point shooter but he's nowhere close to elite. But maybe I have a different definition of elite than you
